start leaf, deep cleft in column

?
only found a few plants growing in scree on exposed ridge, ~1300m asl

Locally abundant on dry face of coastal promontory with Rytidosperma sp. and Leontodon saxatilis. Achenes 3mm long, cuspis very small, almost lacking.

One small plant noted in tarn turf communities with Hydrocotyle hydrophila and Myriophyllum pedunculatum subsp. novae-zelandiae.

Beast of a plant! Local on eroding basalt cliffs.

On ultramafic rocks

Locally abundant in swamp forest bogs.

Ranunculus, small alpine buttercup growing in flowing water

Forming patches in wetland with C. colensoi.

Scattered on damp gorge walls

New record for New Zealand. Weedy in lawn pathside, locally abundant in shortly mown lawn. 1 x 3 m patch.

Great specific epithet. Growing within ultramafic pavement in the company of Carex uncifolia.

Co-dominant in west-facing exposed coastal turf, with Eryngium vesiculosum as a significant associate.

On ultramafic soils

Ephemeral tarn.

Exciting to finally see it flower now that the lake level has dropped enough to expose some mud and gravels.

Tarn margin

At base of boulderfield

Locally common in fellfield on exposed ridge.

In damp runnels on eroding mudstone banks. Good population at this site.

New population on large boulder supposedly out of reach of goats. Specimens with fruit, no flowers seen. 10+ plants.

Good population in a wetland fed by a small spring. Sixteen mile, Shotover Valley.

On limestone cliff face.

One of four plants seen. This one had fruit, the others didn't.
Under a light canopy of kahikatea, among Gahnia xanthocarpa, Machaerina juncea, Blechnum etc.

Plant scattered in swamp scrub, mainly on margins. Plants with large amounts of immature capsules.

Nile River Valley

Very scattered. On ultramafic scree. 1200m-1400m

One plant in roadside drain. Full pith and six stamens. Confirmed by Rhys Gardner.

Four plants seen at this site. Some obviously browsed or damaged in the past and have become multi-headed

Colonies along roadside ditch on swamp forest margin.

Only one plant found at this site, but a large one.

In wetland surrounding Lake Mistletoe

In limestone boulder field above Lake Jeanette, Matiri Range.
Note pale tipped utricles.

First time I have met this sp. interesting that this place is the stronghold... very cool.

Approximately 10 rosettes seen growing at the base of limestone cliff.

Dark face, boggy ground, under matagouri. Not sure about this species but the habitat seems right.

On rock outcrop

Limestone

Common in a narrow coastal band or shrubland and forest on steep bluffy areas exposed to high wind and lots of salt. It can grow into a small tree in more sheltered areas.

Tussock grassland, south-facing slope

Common at higher altitudes. Nearing the southern extent of this species. 1100-1500m elevation

Common, especially above bushline in tussock grassland

Locally abundant in coastal grassland

Rytidosperma australe, occasional in alpine bog

Population of many plants on south facing shady slopes

Single seedling in open pygmy forest on high ridge (1000m) and nutrient-poor granite soils. Can't find a good match in Esler's species list?

Growing along costal scrub

On mudstone cliff. Plantago picta Colenso.

Under beech.

Off-track on a small, rocky outcrop from the main Old Ghost Road. A few seen at this site.

black spot or Longfin boar fish- is that the same?

juvenile- shy but curious!! around 26m

Same observation and spotted by @lroderick16 https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/65196267

One of three specimens noted on and near track side. Old fruits present on one of them. Growing amongst Myrsine divaricata and Coprosma propinqua. First noted at this site in 1994.
